Roma Primavera captain Giacomo Faticanti nears switch to Lecce

Roma are finalizing the transfer of Primavera midfielder Giacomo Faticanti to Lecce.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Faticanti is closing in on a move to Lecce on a permanent deal from the capital club after handing in a transfer request earlier this summer.


Faced with limited playing time in Jose Mourinho’s team, Faticanti asked Roma to find him a club in Serie A where he could steadily develop throughout his first season as a first team player.

The Italian newspaper confirms that Roma and Lecce are edging closer to a total agreement. The two clubs are currently discussing the details pertaining to Faticanti’s sell-on clause in Roma’s favor.
